Hoist Accident - Drops Gas Turbine

[ansonwilson]

Found this video and had to share it. I'm pretty sure this is one of the turbines GE makes in it's Greenville, SC plant.

Video takes a while to get going. The good stuff happens about 1:45.

Since it was in my industry I thought it was pretty crazy. Link below

I couldn't believe that guy walked under it. Thanks for sharing, I will definitely be forwarding this video to folks I work with as this is in my industry too.

Wow!!!

We had a crew freefall a maverick missle back in the mid 90's. Not a good day for them....
